Matthew 26:44-49 English Standard Version (ESV)

44. So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words again.

45. Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on.See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46. Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”

47. While he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people.

48. Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man; seize him.”

49. And he came up to Jesus at once and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” And he kissed him.
